The Renaissance period was all about glory — the glory in the production of new knowledge and in the relearning of Classical wisdom, namely that which was conceived in ancient Greece and Rome. This glory was evident in the endeavors of the people at the time, particularly in Italy, where the Renaissance took root. The women and men of the sciences and the arts flourished, and several of them even worked in both fields with equal aplomb, such as the famed polymath Michelangelo.
The human feats achieved during the Renaissance are so enduringly invaluable that they remain celebrated today. “Glory of Venice: Renaissance Paintings 1470–1520,” a new show at the North Carolina Museum of Art, adds to the celebration, with many paintings and other objects on view on a rare occasion. Some of the artists featured are Giovanni Bellini, Vittore Carpaccio, Cima da Conegliano, Giorgione, and Titian.

“This is the first exhibition solely devoted to Italian art ever presented at the Museum, and it’s a stunner. For the first time in its history, the Accademia museum in Venice, which owns the foremost collection of Venetian art in the world, has agreed to lend a substantial group of its treasures to America, and we are delighted to be one of two venues for this important exhibition,” said David Steel, co-curator of the exhibition.
“Glory of Venice: Renaissance Paintings 1470–1520” opened on March 4 and will run until June 18.
